Back then, he strongly affirmed the need of every child learning computer science and knowing how to manage, use and create new kinds of techonology. This south african-born American who spent most of his career researching and teaching at the MIT, also invented the Logo Programming Language, together with Cynthia Solomon and Wally Feurzeig.īefore his tragic accident while attending a conference in Hanoi, Papert was one of the principals behind the One Laptop per Child movement, applying the same disruptive education theories that made so many people laugh at him back in the 60’s.
Seymour Papert, who was born in the late 20’s and passed away a few weeks ago, was one of the pioneers within the constructionist movement in education.
